Benjamin Garre confirms Manchester City are his preferred Destination, not Trafford or Barcelona.

Benjamin Garre will be joining Manchester City from Argentine Primera Division Velez Sarsfield, Manchester City are reported to have beaten FC Barcelona and Snubchester United to his signature. The 15 year old will join the City Football Academy after admitting on his Facebook page.

"I'm going after a dream, to one of the best academies in the world, with the conviction that my football will develop". "That a club like Manchester City is interested in me makes me proud and while I understand that some may see it as wrong, it is a challenge I have to take, thinking of my career."

I can only presume he's referring to Velez Sarsfield and their fans, he spent time training at Carrington with United in 2014 but Garre decided to not join United. FC Barcelona were also reported to have been after the lad.

He also spoke to Argentinian Radio station La Pelota al 10 saying:

"I won't let this opportunity with City pass. Every player dreams of it. It's a gift from God. Going to Manchester City was a great opportunity. I decided with my Family it was the best place to go."

He was born January 1st 2000, is a right footed Attacking Midfielder, Orgulloso.es claim the lad has a strong physique which is unusual at such a young age and has good ball control. Being at a young age there isn't much information about him outside of Velez Sarsfield.

Benjamin is the Grandson of Oscar Alfredo Garre, an Argentine Legend and Defender who won the 1986 World Cup.

Who is Joey Barton to judge Raheem Sterling? I'll tell you exactly who Barton is.

Who is Joey Barton?

Joey Barton is a jealous loser and a sore one at that who doesn't like Manchester City and will jump at any chance to have a dig.

Joey Barton was so good that not even Everton or Liverpool could bare to hold onto him, shunned by his own City of birth on both sides of the divide. So Manchester City took him in, gave him his chance at the big time and he couldn't even pull that off. He turned out to be nothing but a Bully and Journeyman.

He's best known for hacking down players and sparking brawls on the playing field, stubbing cigars as a senior player into eyes of youth academy players. Running people over and breaking their legs, assaulting a 15 year old football supporter. He's been arrested for assault and criminal damage, was given a four month suspended sentence for admitting assault with actual bodily harm on a fellow squad member and performed 200 hours of community service. The FA charged Barton with violent conduct more than 3 times, has a habit of punching and headbutting players. This was effectively the end of his career at Manchester City.

He went on to commit many more infringements and has collected many more red cards, I doubt that's about to stop either after signing for Glasgow Rangers. He will at some point face our young Patrick Roberts, I can only hope someone warns the lad of this nasty piece of work.

So who is Joey Barton to judge our Raheem Sterling, Sterling is 10 times the player and man that Joey Barton is. 1 international cap Barton says it all, this all seems very well timed as far Barton's concerned. Bitter that Manchester City gave up on him? He's showed his blatant disrespect for Manchester City in 2012 when he lashed out at Carlos Tevez and followed up with raking his studs down the back of Sergio Agueros leg resulting in being sent off, but he didn't stop there as he attempted to head butt Vincent Kompany.

I'm not going to repeat what Barton said about Sterling recently, as I don't believe he deserves his tripe being published here. I'll leave that for you to decide whether or not you want to Google his latest rant.

What I will say though is, Joey Bartons opinion is irrelevant. Doesn't matter what he thinks, all he is is a bitter and poor excuse for a footballer and human being.

So Joey Barton, if you read this, know that there are plenty of us out there who despise people like you, we disregard your opinion because it's hollow and without foundation. English football is much better off without players like you, may that last forever.
